The F-35 isn't needed to go bomb undefended crap in the middle of nowhere (in US service, anyway). Not to mention all of them are still in testing/development, yeah yeah the B is IOC and whatever...still not needed. I think the loiter time is a non-factor, mostly, because of tanking...Its the transit time that usually hurts. BTW, who says the A-10 is useless? Its simply not something one'd like to defend an SA-20 in. :)

The A-10 was pulled back a bit in GW1 because they were taking a lot of hits, not to mention mission creep... Source for that is General Horner, from 'Every Man a Tiger', Tom Clancy.

Permanently? YESSSSS. :thumbup:

20nmi North of our base and you can attack us on the ground? Quit whining :D

I think its just bad BVR, honestly... Flank them, don't go North Korean Air Force on it. Seriously, if you have numbers, get the heck out of his radar FoV and ET/Archer his, errm, butt.

Hope you don't mind me editing that. I think the problem with that is that you're still creating missions...with some sort of dynamic campaign generator it could be pretty simple for the player to use; I definitely agree about wanting to get in the pit and get going. Unrelated, sorta: I wonder if ED's thought about making the mission generator do something like this, maybe like what Sith mentioned in the quote above...It probably wouldn't be perfect, but it'd be a big step in the right direction! :thumbup:

*F-4F ICE. :)

I *think* Primal was referring to the largely theoretical ideas that could be implemented with the two-day DL on the 120D.

That was the B-1R upgrade that never happened. B-1s never got to be SPAMRAAM trucks. :(

Please do. :D

I'll reply in PM when I can, or if the mods could move this to the chit-chat section, that'd be nice too. Really don't want to keep OT-ing the Euro Wishlist.

I was going to put a 'you can be my wingman' meme here...

See spoiler. Edit: Do you even GBU-28, bro?

I'd rather do that in a Strike Eagle... With a ridiculous amount of Mk-82AIR.

This is funny...You realize GG isn't American, right? :D

^^Correction: We have enough lead-in jet trainers (or whatever the term is.). I'll fly any modern fast jet available. :D

Agreed, an ASM -15C would be awesome.

Nah, those (except MiG-29UB...looks cool, but no radar :( ) deserve their own module(s), IMO. I'd love to have an F-15D, imagine what you could do in the back seat...sit and watch, take control when needed, yell at people that can't fly, etc...it'd be so much fun. I know a lot of people that'd rather have an F-15E over any other 2 seat F-15, though... Well, I'm fine with that too :P

Y'all may want to check the post dates.

And again, do you think the current situation, as it comes to aircraft simulation, is 100% realistic in DCS? I personally don't think so, but that doesn't stop me from greatly appreciating all the hard work ED, the 3rd parties, modders, etc. have put into the sim to make an enjoyable and mostly realistic experience. You know, just because DCS is a "study sim" doesn't mean one can't guess; if we couldn't have any guesswork done, we'd have just about nothing in the sim. As for implying that making somewhat speculative aircraft is equivalent to Ace Combat realism? I lol'ed. :P On data availability: There definitely is a lot out there on those aircraft you/I mentioned, OTOH there's also a lot that isn't out there. There's some stuff that, for example, only the devs have access to. TL;DR: I'm here to have fun in a simulated air war environment, not for perfect switchology/technical realism - although that can be nice sometimes! :thumbup: BTW, there was an F-22 mod floating around a while ago, the mod list it was linked from was taken down, IIRC...it used a Su-27 or 33 cockpit/avionics and had the RCS of an unstealthy fighter. Such a mod with F-15 systems/cockpit would have been cool, but honestly, something like FC-style avionics + basic cockpit would be just fine. Is that optimal? No, I want what you (seem to) want - realism, but I'm willing to accept less so I can have more fun. :wallbash: Quicky edit: By the way, sorry for this OT stuff...Maybe this should be its own topic/poll.

Exceptional R-3R/S is one of those. :D Love those things...

Why does that matter? You can have a decent mod through what's publicly available...look at the P3D F-35, just because we don't have the -1/-34 doesn't mean we can't guess. I would kill for an SFM/ASM F-22 or F-35. I'd pay for it too. :joystick: Does anyone here think FC3, A-10, MiG-21, anything in the sim, is 100% realistic? :doh:

^Or we could get a European variant of the F-16...I bet you didn't consider that :D Anyway, I'd like a Tornado F3. I think the later F3s had ASRAAMs...good missile, funny name if you say it wrong. :megalol:

It just looks cool. I fly around with that on sometimes when training...Now if only we had CATM-9 and -120 on the F-15. :) As for IRL, I think its like a Tacview recorder or something...

Same here, although for me this thing has been twitchy since I got it in February 2015... I sorta got used to it.
